Sanctuary states are hiring illegal aliens to work in their governments.
Visa overstays are in the U.S. illegally, and a work permit does not shield them from deportation.
DHS will continue putting the American people first by continuing the largest mass deportation effort in American history.
NEW: ICE confirms to @FoxNews that their Seattle office has arrested a Kenyan illegal alien who is a current employee of the Washington State Dept. of Children, Youth, and Families, and was wearing a WA DCYF jacket at the time of his arrest.
Fox is told ICE arrested STANLEY ROBERT KUNGU MUTHEE during a traffic stop on Monday because he is a visa overstay. He first flew into the US on 2/6/2019 via a B-2/tourist visa, but never left and remained in the country illegally. Fox is told that during his ICE arrest, he admitted to being employed by WA DCYF employee and was in possession of a WA DCYF ID card.
I reached out to WA DCYF for comment, and they confirmed he's been an employee since 2024.
“This individual has been employed with the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families since Aug. 16, 2024. The individual provided the appropriate documentation when he was hired, which indicated he was authorized to work. This included a valid United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) number with no expiration date. We have not been notified of a change in his status.” – Nancy Gutierrez, Director of Communications, WA DCYF
A reminder - a work permit does not convey legal status or shield the recipient from deportation. Someone can be in the U.S. illegally, but if they file an asylum claim, they are typically eligible to apply for a work permit 6 months after filing their claim. They can work, but they are still detainable by ICE due to their unlawful status.
This illegal alien from Guinea was arrested for assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon. Despite these violent charges, New York City sanctuary politicians refused to honor ICE’s detainer and RELEASED him back onto the streets, and he remains at large.
This is the vision of sanctuary politicians in a nutshell: the open-border policies of the Biden Administration let this criminal into our country, and then sanctuary politicians in New York released him after arresting him without notifying ICE. @DHSGov is calling on Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani to knock it off with these evil sanctuary policies before another American gets hurt, or worse.
SNAP FRAUD CRACKDOWN EXPANDS
Taxpayer-funded benefits are meant to help American families put food on the table, NOT to be exploited by illegal alien fraudsters.
Those who steal from hardworking American citizens will be found and face justice.
Fabiola Vega, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute heroin in Waseca, Minnesota.
Every single day, America’s brave @ICEgov agents enforce the law and arrest criminals including murderers, pedophiles, violent assailants and others.
Under President Trump’s leadership, we are arresting and deporting illegal aliens like these at a historic pace.🧵

OVER 400 SUSPECTED NONCITIZENS REGISTERED TO VOTE IN WASHINGTON STATE!
Federal investigators identified over 400 suspected noncitizens registered to vote in Washington, with an estimated 1,500 ballots cast across multiple elections.
HSI and our federal partners are investigating allegations of unlawful voting and working to protect the integrity of American elections.

After years of the Biden Admin letting illegal alien criminals pour into America, the Trump Admin has locked down the border and taken the worst of the worst off our streets. ⬇️
Every American voter has the right to know that their vote counts.
Only American citizens should be electing America’s leaders, and @HSI_HQ will continue to target and arrest anyone who attempts to illegally interfere in our elections.

Eduart Gomez Ochoa, a Mexican national with a rap sheet a mile long, was recently RELEASED by local officials in Minnesota. Shortly after his release, he reoffended and has been apprehended again.
@ICEGov first lodged a detainer for Gomez Ochoa in May. Minnesota officials should honor this detainer so that this serial sexual assaulter can be finally be deported.
ICE Lodged A Detainer For A Green Card Holder Who Has A Litany Of Arrests For Sexual Assault and Violence In Minnesota
Pour a coffee, cause this is a long one.
Eduart Gomez Ochoa, 28, was arrested on 10/24/26 after a two day manhunt. According to the criminal complaint, Ochoa tried to grab and drag a woman out of her apartment window but fled only after the woman kicked and screamed.
Ochoa is also charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct, first-degree burglary and third-degree assault in a May incident where it is alleged he broke into an apartment and sucked on an underage girl's foot.
Ten days later, Gomez Ochoa was arrested Maplewood after two more sexual assaults where police say he snuck up on women and groped them.
Ochoa is wanted in connection to multiple other assaults and has prior charges but was RELEASED by Ramsey County on his own recognizance in September.
A senior @DHSgov official tells @BorderHawkNews that Ochoa is a "criminal alien predator" from Mexico with prior arrests for:
- Domestic abuse in violation of a protection order
- Multiple arrests for domestic assault
- Felony threats of violence
- Felony fleeing of a police officer
- Felony burglary
- Violation of a protection order
- Providing a false name
- Leaving the scene of a collision
- Dangerous weapons
- Threats of violence
- Theft
- Providing false information
- Obstruction of the legal process
- 3rd degree assault causing bodily harm
- Burglary
- Criminal sexual misconduct
Ochoa first illegally entered the United States in November 2000 and became a green card holder when he was 20 years old.
“On May 20, 2026, ICE lodged a detainer with the Ramsey County Jail following Ochoa’s arrest May 17 for burglary, criminal sexual conduct, and fleeing a peace officer, but it was lifted because the jail decided to PROTECT this criminal alien and decline the detainer."

DHS added three Chinese genetic sequencer companies to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List after determining they helped support mass surveillance in Xinjiang.
The companies helped collect genetic material used to track persecuted ethnic minorities, including people subjected to forced labor, meaning work they could not freely refuse. The action helps keep their goods out of U.S. supply chains.
Under President Trump’s leadership, we are not going to let companies tied to forced labor and the surveillance of persecuted minorities profit from the American market.
Today, @DHSgov is barring three Chinese DNA testing companies from allowing their goods to enter the United States unless importers can meet the law’s requirements.
This is about enforcing our laws, protecting American businesses from unfair competition, and making clear that companies connected to forced labor will not get a free pass in this country.

"This is an operation that is consistent with President Trump’s executive order to make D.C. safe and beautiful. It is, of course, part of the @HSTaskForce that brings a whole government approach to government partnership dedicated to eliminating the threats against American people." @USAttyPirro
Washington D.C. is the capital of the free world, and should serve as a shining beacon. By getting these drugs that poison our citizens out of our capital, we are making D.C. safe and beautiful again.
